Political Debates…

The Atlanta Press Club has become the recognized leader of televised political debates in Atlanta and around Georgia. This 2008 primary election season, we are hosting 15 debates giving statewide candidates a chance to debate the issues. The debates include five congressional districts and two public service commission races as well as the Democratic candidates for U.S. Senate that will air on Georgia Public Broadcasting. Five debates for local races will air on WPBA. APC is partnering with Georgia Public Broadcasting to produce these debates and makes news coverage open to all news outlets. The Atlanta Press Club is able to offer these debates through funding from the Atlanta Press Club Endowment Fund of Georgia, Inc. including specific funds donated by the late Tom Watson Brown.
